“God Spare the Child...”

"God Spare the Child..." marks a pivotal moment in the X-Men saga, reuniting the team at the mansion with Professor Xavier back at the helm. Written by the legendary duo of John Byrne and Chris Claremont, and illustrated with precision by Byrne and Terry Austin, this Facsimile Edition captures the era’s bold energy. As the X-Men prepare to recruit a newly identified mutant, tensions rise—both from the Hellfire Club’s interest in a young Kitty Pryde and the lingering echoes of past conflicts. The cover by Byrne and Austin perfectly frames the story’s emotional weight and stakes.
